Matching Monitor to Print
2008-11-25 by robert49brake
Here is a copy of part of a post to DigitalB&Wthe print from cdtobie: What white luminance is your display offering once profiled? LCDs that are not specifically lowered to a luminance appropriate the the ambient lighting will almost always produce this "prints are darker than screen" result. I could describe how to fix this with Spyder products... Is there something already assembled that describes this technique? I use a Spyder2/PFP setup for my monitor/printer profiles. For a monitor I use a ViewSonic VP930b. I profiled the monitor at 70% contrast and 50% brightness and I get fairly good matches but am wondering if there is a more accurate way of doing it. Thanks, Robert
